---------------------- 😁About Me😁 ----------------------
My name is Hammo and I stream on Twitch! I play a variety of "map games" and strategy games, but my favourite game by far is Hearts of Iron IV.
I love this game and it's complexity, strategy and historical focus, but these are also reasons people can find it hard to get into Hoi4. The endless spreadsheets, statistics, buffs and debuffs can be overwhelming without someone to show you the ropes, which is where this channel comes in!
I will be creating and posting beginners guides, tutorials, walkthroughs, tips and tricks videos, just about everything I can to get you playing and enjoying Hearts of Iron IV as much as I do!
If this sounds like something you would like to see, hit SUBSCRIBE and I'll see you in the comments!

When you play with player, paratroopers need to really hold position untill help will come, one paratrooper in division is useless

[@hammotimee]

Not for multiplayer! Just singleplayer, I'm no good at MP so can't be help as an authority on the subject 😁😁

[@boshoff814]

Thanks for the special video on Special Forces

[@hammotimee]

No worries! Really happy to help 😁

[@mesterb8624]

As i said before
You Are UNDERRATED!
Every topic i try to learn more about i found you there!
Bless you

[@hammotimee]

Hahah thank you so much legend! Let me know what you want to see next if you find something I've not covered 😊

[@mesterb8624]

@@hammotimee for ingame detailed you have covered almost everything. If i would ask it will be about game achievement because i dont play games for only fun but for achievements of course

[@hammotimee]

@@mesterb8624 hshsha I love doing them, they just take more time so I can't upload them as often

[@kj1737]

Thanks, your video helps a lot😘.

[@hammotimee]

Oh thank you! You're so welcome 😁

[@brianreyes7472]

Tip: if you really don’t care about your 2w paratroopers, edit the template so that they are unequipped. (You’ll only lose manpower this way)
Only reason you’d do this is to scorch earth states and disorganize the AI.

[@hammotimee]

That's a great tip!!!

[@theherewini]

Nice one, very interesting.

[@hammotimee]

Glad you liked it!

[@animeXcaso]

You have great potential keep on

[@hammotimee]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@jimberry7385]

So much information so succinctly! I'm a Futurama Bender btw.

[@hammotimee]

Thanks Jim! 😂😂😂😂

[@piwdaw]

thanks! ❤

You're welcome 😊

There are few things that can spit damage into bad terrain better than 10 of pure special forces for that terrain type + SF right-right, assuming you gouge soft attack on the support companies. 200 base soft attack or more per 10w eventually.

[@hammotimee]

My 9-4 Marines with Support Flamers, Engineers, Arty and Rockets agree heartily with you

[@TheMelnTeam]

@@hammotimee Unless my calcs/using the div designer is way off, 5-0 with 4 slots of soft attack stuff and AA should still deal more damage than that to target province. Bit over base 15 SA/w vs base >20SA/w at ~'42 tech, but the difference starts to climb as soon as rockets are added in ~'40.
Integrated support is what carries this, the 9/4 are much more competitive in other doctrines than SF. In SF, getting triple the number of highly-boosted support companies per width overpowers the line arty, even before factoring that 5-0 will have somewhat better terrain modifiers too.
It's kind of disgusting on farmed generals, it becomes possible to put ~6000 - 9000 soft attacks on a province, even in rough terrain, depending on how many directions you can attack from. I haven't seen divs using line arty that can match it yet, though tanks can outdo it unless they're taking heavy terrain penalties, because tanks can cram over 50 base SA per 2w battalion if you build them for that in SP with howitzers. Takes a bit more research and industrial oomph to field that though.

[@yac7571]

I wonder how people use paratroopers I couldnt use them effectively 😂

[@hammotimee]

Now you know! 😊

[@strokeseat1]

Can you say special again for me please?

[@hammotimee]

Special speciality specialists, specially specialing specials
